Veteran '60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley is out at CBS News after clashes with the network's editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and the show's new executive producer Nick Bilton.

Pelley's exit comes after he lashed out at Bilton during an all-staff meeting where he accused Weiss of "murdering" the program and bluntly told Bilton, who has no linear television experience, that he has "slender qualifications" for his new role.

Weiss reportedly asked Pelley to make an apology and accused him of creating a hostile work environment.

Pelley, who previously served as the 'CBS Evening News' anchor, first joined CBS News in 1989 and later joined '60 Minutes' as a correspondent in 2004. In recent years, Pelley was outspoken with criticism of his bosses, including at CBS News' parent company Paramount.
